10 Reasons Batman V Superman's Ending Is The Stupidest Part Of The Film

5. Everything About The Dual Funeral Is Nonsense

So Kal-El has two Earth funerals - a big military do for Superman and a small intimate on for Clark Kent back in Kansas. Now, even if you accept that whole base idea as not patently ridiculous, the entire dual funeral set-up is complete nonsense. How was it decided it was a safer preservation of identity to have the state funeral the one with a weighted coffin? Did Batman swap out Supes' body? And did nobody question the pair's simultaneous deaths? What about Superman's massive hole in his chest? Who declared Clark Kent dead with that? And, biggest of all, would nobody be a tad intrigued why industrialist Bruce Wayne and archeology collector Diana Prince travelled halfway across the country to visit the funeral of a reporter they met a party once whose boss didn't make the effort? Yes, they stand to the edge of the crowd, but that's not really going to do much. It's possible to destroy every part of Batman V Superman with the use of simple logic, but none are as incomprehensible as this sequence. As if to make things worse, all of this is compounded by some of the film's worst editing, with scenes and individual shots placed with no sense of order.
